Today, I was asked by another patient if lupus patients can eat lemon. I thought about it, gout patients can definitely eat it, but lupus patients really don’t know, so I did some literature review and research work at night. To introduce you to lemon. Lemon, also known as Yimuzi, Lemonzi, lemon fruit, foreign lemon, etc., is one of the world’s important fruits and is a small evergreen tree of the Rutaceae family. Lemon is rich in vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin C. It is a rare and good fruit. However, generally lemons are not eaten directly, too acidic, can be accompanied by vegetables (eat raw fish can add a little, there is a certain bactericidal effect), can make water to drink, which is probably the most used method. What are the benefits of eating lemon: 1, anti-scorbutic, lemon is rich in vitamin C called ascorbic acid, so lemon can be said to be the “scurvy” of the nemesis. 2, the role of appetite sterilization, we eat western food, will be with a little lemon, especially raw fish, can remove the fishy taste, and sterilization. 3, the prevention of cardiovascular disease, but also because lemon is rich in vitamin C and vitamin P, can prevent and treat hypertension and coronary heart disease. 4, clear heat and phlegm lemon can also phlegm, the reason is not clear, but I have drunk myself, deeply experienced, really good. 5, has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, this many medical class articles have been introduced: lemon extract can sterilization and anti-inflammatory. But we remember, this role is limited, can not replace the drug. 6, reduce uric acid, reduce the role of kidney stones, is not the gout brothers and sisters, excited. Indeed, lemon has the effect of lowering uric acid, but at the same time, it can also alkalize the urine, to prevent kidney stones oh, so gout patients, can drink. 7, antioxidant effect, this role is good, it is because of this role, so I think, rheumatism patients can eat lemon, can remove the body’s garbage, and good for the condition. So, lupus patients can also drink, but not too much, within 500ml per day. After all these benefits, what are some of the bad ones? 1, to the teeth, may not be good; so, after drinking lemon water best rinse mouth, to prevent bad teeth. 2, the so-called light sensitive strong; so, it is best to drink after, do not go to the sun; as for you and a small cup, that certainly do not have to worry about this problem. Finally, many articles say that, in terms of Chinese medicine, there is a role for this and that, but the real lemon in China to open seeds, it should be the mid-20th century. So, there is definitely no medicinal description of lemon in the traditional Chinese medical writings.
